Walkers in the
annual 5K Spring Sprint fundraiser for the Greater Fall River
Re-Creation Committee had a gorgeous sunny spring day with
temperatures in the 60s for their walk to Bicentennial Park and back on
April 26, 2008. Walkers enjoyed the spectacular views of Heritage Park,
the Battleship
USS Massachusetts, and the Taunton River from the mile-long
boardwalk.
Walkers in this year's event included participants in the city-wide
Fitness Challenge that wraps-up on May 10th. The event raises funds
for programs provided by CD-REC which provides low-cost fitness and
recreational opportunities to over 5,000 children and adults each year.
